2013 Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-004

Description

On the reverse of the 2013 William McKinley Presidential Dollar, WDDR-004 reveals doubling at a notably specific location: the intersection of the second ray clockwise from the Statue of Liberty's head and her right arm. This precision point of doubling distinguishes it from other DDR varieties on the denomination. Attributed by the Wexler Team with variety ID 2013P $1 WM WDDR-004, the obverse carries a diagnostic die gouge just northwest of the 2 in "25th" — a reference to McKinley's rank as the 25th President — while the reverse shows no significant additional markers. This listing represents the Position A edge lettering orientation, where inscriptions read normally when the obverse faces upward. Presidential Dollars were struck with edge-incused lettering containing the date, mint mark, and E PLURIBUS UNUM, a feature that created two collectible positions per variety depending on die orientation during the edge lettering process.
